Definitions

  • This specification describes an invention relating to security coding.
  • FR-A-1 510 531 discloses a substrate carrying a coded ink symbol containing a component having characteristic sharp absorption bands in the infra-red.
  • WO-A-85/02927 discloses a credit card carrying an infra-red code masked by an infra-red invisible, optically opaque mask, such as an electromagnetic recording strip.
  • a method of security coding an article which comprises applying to the article a first identification mark comprising at least one colourless or weakly coloured material having a significant absorption in the near infra-red region of the electromagnetic spectrum from 700nm to 1500nm and overprinting the first identification mark with a second identification mark comprising a colorant which does not have a significant absorption in the near infra-red region of the electromagnetic spectrum from 700nm to 1500nm.
  • the colourless or weakly coloured material having a significant absorption in the near infra-red region of the electromagnetic spectrum from 700nm to 1500nm is hereinafter refered to as the "i-r absorber”
  • the first identification mark is hereinafter referred to as the "i-r mark”
  • the second identification mark is hereinafter referred to as the “colour mark”
  • the combination of first and second identification marks is hereinafter referred to as the "combined mark”.
  • the i-r mark may be formed simply by applying the i-r absorber to the surface of the article, preferably as an ink which dries to leave a printed image containing the i-r absorber.
  • the image can be in any shape, irregular or regular (e.g. a square or triangle), which will give a response when scanned by an i-r scanner/detector, such as a laser scanner and diode detector.
  • the i-r mark is however, preferably in the form of a bar code. The code will preferably identify the origin of the article, and/or provide other relevant information about it, when addressed by an appropriately programmed i-r bar code reader.
  • the i-r mark is overprinted with the colour mark having sufficient absorption in the visible region of the spectrum to render the i-r mark non-detectable by the human eye in order to form the combined mark.
  • the visually opaque colour mark may itself comprise an image, such as a a block of colour, a logo, a pattern or a picture which is applied to the surface of the article, before or after application of the i-r mark.
  • the i-r mark is preferably in the form of an i-r bar code incorporating coded information which will identify the origin of the article, and/or provide other relevant information, when addressed with an appropriately programmed i-r bar code reader.
  • the i-r mark comprises a specific mixture of i-r absorbers having different spectral responses, so that the mixture has a unique response, providing a "fingerprint" spectral pattern and thus a unique identity for the marked article.
  • the i-r mark is in the form of a bar code, such a unique i-r bar code can be used in conjunction with a programmed bar-code reader to produce a response only if it detects the "fingerprint" spectral pattern associated with the specific mixture of i-r absorbers.
  • a detector tuned to the unique spectral response of the mixture will detect a counterfeit by the absence of a part of the spectral response, unless the counterfeit i-r mark comprises the specific mixture of i-r absorbers used in the genuine i-r mark.
  • both the i-r mark and the colour mark are in the form of codes and such marks in the form of codes are hereinafter referred to as the "coded i-r mark” and the “coded colour mark” respectively.
  • the coded i-r mark is preferably printed with an ink containing an i-r absorber which has an insignificant absorption in the visible region of the spectrum so that it it is substantially invisible to the eye in normal white light.
  • the coded colour mark is free from any components which have a significant absorption over the range of the spectrum covered by i-r absorber in the coded i-r mark and is preferably formed by over-printing the coded i-r mark with the coded colour mark.
  • overprinting is generally sufficient to hide or disguise the coded i-r mark or to render it indecipherable by visual inspection, even when the i-r absorber in the coded i-r mark is visible to the eye on account of its slight absorption in the visible region of the spectrum.
  • Both the coded i-r mark and the coded colour mark are preferably bar codes such as are applied to a wide variety of goods to indicate the origin, type, class, quality, etc of the article.
  • the colourless or weakly coloured i-r absorber used in the present invention preferably has a significant absorption in the near i-r region from 700 to 1200 nm and especially from 750 to 1000 nm.
  • Such an i-r absorber is distinguished from conventional materials used in laser-scanned i-r absorbing bar-codes, such as carbon black, which are generally strongly coloured in addition to having a significant absorption in the i-r region of the spectrum.
  • the i-r absorber preferably has a very low absorption in the visible region of the spectrum so that it is barely detectable by the eye when present in sufficient amount to give a strong absorption or reflectance signal in the i-r region.
  • a preferred i-r absorber has an absorption in the visible region of the spectrum, from 400-700 nm, which is not more than 40%, and especially not more than 20%, of the absorption in the near i-r region of the spectrum, 700-1500 nm, as determined by the areas under the absorption curves in these regions of the spectrum.
  • i-r absorbers for use in the present invention are disclosed in an article by M.Sumitani in Kagaku Kogyo, May 1986 pages 379-89. These include nitroso compounds, cyanines, imminium and dimminium compounds, squarilium and croconium compounds, metal dithiolenes, quinones, phthalocyanines, azos, indoanilines and donor-acceptor molecules.
  • metal dithiolenes such as are disclosed in EP 135 995A, Research Disclosure No 21612, April 1982, USP 3,875,199GB 1,297,492 US 3,999,838, Mol Cryst, Liq Cryst Vol 56 pp 225-8, Mol Cryst, Liq Cryst Vol 41 pp 11-3, Mol Cryst, Liq Cryst 1980 56 pp 249-55 and Tetrahedron 1982 18(17) pp 2715-20, (ii) bisazo compounds having a central thiophene or thiazole component linked through an azo group to phenyl group carrying at least two electron-withdrawing groups, such as are described in EP 280434, (iii) squarilium compounds, and more especially (iv) (substituted-thio)phthalocyanines such as those disclosed in EP 155 780, EP 282181 and EP 282182.
  • i-r absorbers examples are the substituted phthalocyanines:
  • the bar-coding method of the present invention is suitable for the marking of secure documentation, currency and equivalents such as cheques and credit cards and identification papers such as passports, identity cards and tickets, for the protection of copyright materials and trademarks, by incorporating infra-red bar codes into logos and copyright material, such as tapes, cassettes, books and films and labels for affixing to these, and to high valuable articles, such a spirits, perfumes, designer goods, cameras etc to inhibit counterfeiting.
  • the very pale beige bar code described in Example 1(a) was overprinted with a different black bar code using the black ink described in Example 2.
  • the faint i-r bar code could not be read by eye because it was partly obscured by the black bar code.
  • the black bar code was read and deciphered with a visible bar code reader detecting at 630 nm and the i-r bar code was read and deciphered with an i-r bar code reader detecting at 780-800 nm. However, the i-r bar code could not be read with the visible bar code reader and vice-versa.
  • a photcopy (carbon black image) of the bar code had a similar visual appearance to the original but both the visible and i-r bar code readers read and deciphered only the image of the original black bar code. The absence of the i-r bar code from the photocopy established that it was a copy and not the original.
